Stiring it up on Boxerworks again
« on: March 05, 2014, 09:59:55 AM »
Boxerworks doing the usual denigration of the R65.

The only disservice they are doing is to themselves.  Its not the place it once was.

Anyone dropped their valves recently?

Cheers

Yes, Steve, there's an entirely different "vibe" on the Boxerworks forum.

Ya gotta maintain a pretty thick skin as there's often someone ready to jump to a counter-point. That's not so much of a bad thing as it does tend to get one to thinking about one's own formed opinions.

That said, I did add my thoughts and opinions shortly after yours -along with an invitation to all interested Airheads to join our "friendly asylum."

I may have mentioned that Nurse Ratched is still on duty...

I used to enjoy that list, but haven't been there in almost a year - even after "The Great Schism" and the following Minor Divergences, it is still a place where there seems to be alot more ego and vitriole than useful/helpful information exchange going on.

I like Boxerworks, even when Rev. Light misses my sarcasm.

Boxerworks doesn't have a high throughput of technical questions these days so they focus on thread degradation instead. They are very talented at it though.
